Bit of a random movie fest the other night with the missus, Rob and Emsy, consisting of "After.Life" and "Bad Lieutenant". Both of which I quite enjoyed.
I thought "After.Life" was going to be awful, we only really started watching as we wanted a bad movie to watch. It was a bit over the top but was an interesting idea and Liam Neeson does creepy well. I do have trouble with seeing Christina Ricci naked though, as in my head she's still Wednesday Addams. Overall better than expected but should've ended ten minutes before it did.
Speaking of Christina Ricci, I worked out why so many people are attracted to her...with her massive eyes and head that's slightly disproportionate to her body, she looks like a real life Manga character. Which I guess does it for some people.
"Bad Lieutenant" was as weird as I expected from a Werner Herzog film that stars Nic Cage, and is about twenty minutes longer than it needed to be, but was still entertaining. When it's dark, it's REALLY dark, and when it's not, it drags. But ultimately enjoyable, with the final act being laugh out loud funny at the way everything pans out do a character who doesn't really undergo any real character development.
Not a bad night in.
